Spain was my pick from the beginning and they dominated everyone. I'm a little disappointed they pulled back at the very end. I wanted them to press and counter like they did to finish off France in the semi finals. Watching them drop back and let Argentina actually get some shots off was a mistake that England just showed you not to do against them. I wish I had grabbed some tickets in Atlanta, but cost and timing wasn't perfect. I'm thinking about trying to do a Euro 2028 run since it's in England and Ireland. I wanted to go back at some point and take the kids. Will probably look to hit up a Germany game somewhere and let the schedule/locations determine the trip. Portugal is on our to do list, so world cup 2030 may actually be a thing for us as well. Weird to think I'm planning vacations around soccer.

No, not at all. There is another scene that is a little dark as well. I can't explain it because it's not like a cookie cutter talking animal movie. It's probably safer to say the movie is geared towards adults just as much as kids.

What a crazy game. Probably exactly what you like to see in a third place game. Definitely an instant classic.

My last year in Hawaii we lived along the landing path to Hickman and HNL. You're right, you always look up. Added bonus is that we also lived right near the entrance to Pearl Harbor, always had to stop and watch the submarines coming and going either.

I'll add another to the sheep detectives. Wasn't going to see it because it sounded dumb. A school dad told me they saw it and loved it. Took the kids to the theater to see it on that recommendation and was a bit shocked how well it was done. Watched it again last night for family movie night in Prime Video. It still should not be that good, but dang if it doesn't hit.

AFL is actually in week 18 of 24 weeks. I follow the Roos and it's been an interesting season for sure. Highly recommend the sport to anyone. Got the boy hooked on it now.

Best International Vacations
madbad2000 replied to TwinsBrewersWorldSeries's topic in Off-Topic Forum
If going to Europe, try to avoid going in July and August as was mentioned. Not only are crowds packed in Med, even if you go to other areas in Europe you may see some businesses closed because the owners went on holiday. We did Paris for Spring Break and we all had a great time (kids 6 + 8). I expected to be disappointed and it was very good. I hate big cities and only acquiesced because it was my daughter's wish list location. I would recommend Croatia to any and everyone. Nice combination of natural beauty, cities, history and beach/water. Fantastic and welcoming people is an added cherry on the top. I have also done Scotland and Ireland. I can't recommend them enough. Scotland is gorgeous with natural beauty everywhere. Ireland is more developed but also great people everywhere. In terms of transportation, I tend to get a car wherever I go because I like to be on my own schedule and visit smaller, local cities. Never had my issues during in Europe, no matter which side of the road. -
I watched it yesterday and I really enjoyed it. It was like an extra long Mando episode, which is what I expected. I like it better as a series, but definitely glad I saw it in the theater.

It's not just self checkout, they do it for the main lines when it gets busy. By pre scanning they do make it faster in some instances because you get up there, swipe, pay and roll out. I'm not sure it's always faster because if a cart is full and/or you have a lot of smaller items they have to move them around, try to scan, keep track of items etc. which can make it slower. It would make it a lot faster if the scanners had a credit card receiver and small printer. You still have to stay in line and wait for cashier to complete transaction.

Ravens nix the Crosby trade then pivot to Hendrickson on 4 year, $112M deal.

With free agency about to start and a few trades queued up there is no better time than now to start the discussion for the 2026 season.

They could tey. And would Willis go there? Far too many other teams that are in the QB market with better organizations/chance to win. Just off the top of my head he could be an option in Pittsburgh, LA Rams, Arizona, Miami, Indianapolis. Jets, Cleveland and maybe even Minnesota may be in the running too, but I'm not going to Jets if I can go to the top 5. Jets are 😍 baby better off stacking up support pieces and then going all in on QB next year to put into a better stacked team.
-
And the same team has three first round picks next year AND likely picking near the top. May have just kicked that can a year.

I gave up on Amazon Prime last year and haven't noticed a big difference. We have an Amazon distribution warehouse like 5 miles from my house and quite a few of the items I was getting were coming in past the two day shipping. I also scratch my head at USPS because our mail seems to go through Birmingham (hour and 45 mins away) even when sending letters in the neighborhood or city. So we send a letter, it goes to Birmingham and then comes back to Madison, AL two-three days later. I would have assumed they have a mail processing center in Huntsville at a minimum.

Artificial. I bought ta really nice, realistic tree once I got out of the army and wasn't dragging my belongings with me all the time. Bought it post Christmas on a mega sale and been going strong for 11 years now. I trim it completely and we make it an event with the kids. I play christmas music and we reminisce about the memories of the ornaments and where we got them. We make it a habit to get an ornament from our major travel trips each year, do the annual family picture ornament and have accumulated some nice German ornaments over the year for the cultural tie in with my wife being German. Growing up we did a real tree one time and never again. Such a hassle to acquire, install and upkeep. I also much prefer to see the trees growing in nature instead of a one time use being cut down and drying out in my living room. Thankfully we have not had many mishaps. Our little cat made a run up the tree her first year, but she is so small nothing happened. The commotion that came with getting her out probably scarred her from doing it again, even though she does love hanging out under it.

Any interest in an 18 team guillotine fantasy league here?

2025 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread
madbad2000 replied to Jake McKibbin's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
Happy with that. Will be even more happy if they worked out a deal. At least one elite tool, check. Hopefully he can stick at 3rd -
I loved looking at the band list again. Thanks for sharing an awesome memory Jim.

2025 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread
madbad2000 replied to Jake McKibbin's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
I don't follow the MLB draft nearly as much as the NFL, so I can't reasonably say who I would like. I'm with you, give me tools. Give me top of the draft hit, fastball, power, something big. Jace Laviollette keeps standing out to me as an option. Easy to hope on enough contact to make that power dangerous. With the way the Brewers draft, I'm fully in I believe mode and can't wait to see who we tab. -
I like the earlier draft in the past so players could get to rookie ball in the same year. Is the draft during the ASG really a draw? I would imagine the people that tune in would be the same crowd at any time. They should be smarter about it and embrace the actual spectacle. Conduct draft early then have the top draftees show up to the ASG for some type of festivity: skills comp, hr derby, show off for host team by having the day 1 picks for that team in the stadium and signing. Just holding the draft is pretty weak IMHO.

Something else to consider is the transfer of 529 accounts to Roth IRA for unused funds. "Beginning in 2024, unused funds from a 529 plan can be rolled over to a Roth IRA for the beneficiary, without penalty or tax implications, under the SECURE 2.0 Act. This rollover is limited to a lifetime total of $35,000 per beneficiary".

I'm with you about AI in some areas. I'm planning a few trips and whenever I come across an AI voiced video on YouTube, I have to immediately stop and block that site. It also doesn't help that I'm generally not only interested in the repeated top 10 lists. I want the local options and hidden gems. Don't send me to crowds.

This is a good gripe. I have had this connection at Charlotte a couple of times and rolled with booking it because it was the cheaper option. Every time we have arrived early and got to the next gate in plenty of time. I know there is usually buffer placed on routes to cover any delays and to make passengers feel better since they arrive early. I wonder if there is some of that psychological manipulation going on.

I fully concur with hating Ohare. That is easily the top airport I avoid at all costs. I find your opinion of American interesting because my experiences would be the opposite. I think American is one of my top choices. Being in the South, American and Delta are my main options. Delta used to be my go to, but their value dropped hard and their seats are worse than other airlines (outside of extreme budget planes). Being 6'4, 240 the options outside of first class are never good and I just suck it up.
